Do You Still Dream Big Dreams? A Story About Change, Fear, and Finding Your Path

Do You Still Dream Big Dreams?


Recently, I asked myself a question.
Do I still dream big dreams?

Maybe it’s a question you carry within you too.
Not loudly. Not every day. But it’s there. In those moments when you step onto a path you don’t recognize. A new job. A new role. A new world.

A quiet question, somewhere behind awareness, appears:
How did I end up here?
Why did I leave what I knew?
Why did I step out of what felt safe?
Why am I here?

In a world of technology.
Social media.
Artificial intelligence.
In a world where we are no longer “secretaries,”
but “virtual assistants,” “administrative assistants,” “operations assistants”…
Where writing is no longer just writing,
but “content creation,” “copywriting,” “creative writing,” storytelling…

And I admit — sometimes it confuses me.
Because these are not just new titles.
It is a new language.
And I learned it later.

But then I pause.
And I remember…

How many times have I already been at the beginning?


How many times have I walked a path that wasn’t mine — until it became mine?
Like in the mountains.
You don’t see the peak.
You don’t know how much is left.
But you keep going.
Step by step.

Because somewhere deep inside, you know — there is a reason.
There is a summit.
And there is a view waiting for you.

Those of us who remember VHS tapes,
phones with cords we untangled using a pencil,
did not grow up in this world.

And yet, we are in it — for a reason.

Because the dreams we once dreamed
have not disappeared.


Inspirational quote about dreams returning and knocking again, encouraging reflection and inner calling



As I wrote recently:

dreams don’t come to guide us —
they return… and knock again.

And we can ignore them.
We can stay “reasonable.”
Busy.
Safe.

But they remain.

Because a dream that is yours
does not ask for permission to exist.

So today, I will not ignore them.
Today, I will call them. Not on a mobile phone, but on one with a cord.

Hello?

Dream…
come.
Remind me who I am.

Today, I am living that feeling again.




Some feelings cannot be explained — only felt.


A dream I once had —
now a book.

Camino de Santiago - My Camino...

  Camino de Santiago My Camino…     For me, life itself is a journey. We walk—or if you prefer, we live—and along the way, we meet people. Some simply pass by, greet us, and continue on their own path. Some come and go, only to return again. And only a few remain, walking beside us on this shared road.       As I walked along one part of my path, I met someone who told me about the Camino de Santiago. And nothing beyond that—nothing more—matters when it comes to this person. Because to dwell on them, on who they were, or why, would mean stepping away from my own path.     And so, the Camino de Santiago stepped onto my road. Into my life.      Thoughts, research, attempts at planning the journey… they followed both me and him. Until one day, I let it all go and simply continued to walk, to live—without the burden of whether I would ever go to him or not.     And then he came. One night. Into my dream.  ...

Camino de Santiago - On Roles and Companions

  Camino de Santiago               On Roles and Companions ( My Camino...) Oh, my joy. I am going to walk the Camino !!! My heart was racing wildly. I wasn’t thinking about the costs, the effort, or the gear… only about the fact that in my dream, St. James himself had called me to join him.      I am not of the Catholic faith. I am an Orthodox Christian, baptized in the Church of the Holy Trinity in my hometown. I grew up in a family, in a time, when religion was not exactly looked upon kindly, and where I was taught that the church was nothing more than the opium of the people. My late mother kept, hidden behind a curtain, an icon of St. Luke, the protector of our home, and on the day of our family’s patron saint she would always prepare a slightly better meal. Quietly. Just the way faith asks of you. The patron saint celebration, or  krsna slava , is a unique Serbian religious and cultural tradition and one of the most ...

Camino de Santiago ( My Camino...) - Route Map...

          Camino de Santiago Route Map… (My Camino…)    Today I spent hours trying to remember and piece together all the places I passed on my Camino journey. Hours and hours… When I finally finished, and retraced the entire incredible route in my mind, I wished I were there again. Yes. Now I know. I will return someday.   I loved the scent of the ocean and the steps along the wooden planks by the shore. There was something strangely appealing about walking from town to town. I just wished I had more time to explore a bit more along the way.   So I decided to share the map with you. I wish I could share the scent of the ocean too, but that, you’ll have to experience yourself. For now, I’m sharing my impressions here, and sharing the seashells I collected from the beach with friends:  Praia Da Langosteira Map     We set off from Porto.     We flew in from Belgrade and stayed at  The Central House Porto Ribeir...
